Sweet Home America
Well I heard mister Young sing about her Well I heard old Neil put her down Well I hope Neil Young will remember A Southern man dont need him around anyhow
We got a thousand points of light For the homeless man We got a kinder, gentler, Machine gun hand We got department stores and toilet paper Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer Got a man of the people, says keep hope alive Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive.
Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world.
Neil rocks. relevant then, relevant now. Also if you actually read what he has been saying you'll find he's not quite the bleeding heart liberal you think he is.
Ok hue, I get your point there. however, when artists don't write about what is affecting them emotionaly, their music becomes inconsecquential. After all what is art but impressions of the times, ones emotional state and reflections of events.

We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler,
Machine gun hand
We got department stores
and toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes
for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people,
says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn,
got roads to drive.
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.
(Neil Young)
Can someone tell him hes no longer relevant. Hes not a protest singer, hes a profiteer. He was then, he is now.
That being said, when he goes electric he puts on a good show.
Maybe if we think real hard, maybe we can stop this rain...Neil rocks.
I would. But I won't. Cuz he's not.

When did I say I thought he was a bleeding heart? Just seems to me his politics are directly related to current public sentiment aka record sales.
Once again I will say I dig the guys music when he goes electric and have seen him perform on numerous occasions.
Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye.
Hey hey, my my.
